Thanks to all who participated in this years Corsham Open.  I hope you all enjoyed the weekend and got the times you were looking for.  There was some fantastic racing and a great atmosphere, congratulations.  The results are posted.

All, The results for session 2 are now available. Click here or got to members area/ Documents/Times and Results. Well done to all the swimmers, especially those competing for the first time.

Well, in the absence of anything else, I'll file a little report.
Our A and B teams were in action last Saturday in the final round of the 2009 Summer League, both with a lot to swim for. The B team were chasing promotion whilst the A team were in a relegation battle.

I didn't get the opportunity to tell most of the swimmers how pleased and proud I was with their efforts last Saturday. This was always going to be a tough year, competing as we are against 3 very strong teams, but to do so with 14+ swimmers unavailable made it a huge ask. I especially want to mention the youngest age group, Edward, Oliver, Charles and Elliot for the boys and Hannah, Robyn, Lucy and Felicity for the girls. We made huge demands of them and I was really impressed with their attitude, commitment and their good humour.

The results from the second session of this years Sprints champonships are now available from the members area, Documents/Times and Results. Once again, congratulations to all competitors and many thanks to everyone who gave their time to make this event possible.

Well done to all who took part in last nights sprints. The results are available in the Members Area, under Documents/Times and Results. Looking forward to more great racing on Sunday.

Very please to report that at the Gloucester Open last weekend (16th/17th May), Huw Parks achieved a district qualifying time in the 100m backstroke. Huw now joins Peter Ammel (100 Fly) as our representatives at Millfield this year and we wish them well.
